yes of course all hail linus!
Haha but on a more serious note i just think he does really good reviews.. one thing to watch with these monitors is they only have 2 height adjustments and you have to unscrew screws to change the height

I'd guess not due to how new they are i suggest you splash the cash and give us your first hand review

The Sapphire Tri-X seem to have very good reviews and stay cool and quiet.
Nice I've always liked Saphire, i was thinking of getting a 290 reference and putting a water block on it because the refrence 290's just get too hot and loud
there's been some 290's on for £200 recently

If you're going custom WC then by all means by the cheapest one you can find!
However the tri-X seem the best for Air

LG Flatron monitors are excellent. Before i got into the proper "gaming" buzz, i had an old LG flatron monitor that lasted 7 years, then the power board went , fixed it for £20 and is now still working for a friend another 2 years later.

I am very, VERY tempted by the last monitor.
Does anybody think prices may come down in future?

I felt the same. But that said I see it as an investment. I don't expect to buy another monitor for 5 years hopefully. That's how long my Samsung syncmaster 27" has been going and it's still like new. Sell it on and make back an admittedly small portion of the £800 asking price.
That said I might be a little economical with the truth when the Mrs asks about it. Still haven't told her I purchased yet. Will wait until delivery date confirmed but looking forward to that cinema experience !
My 290X happily runs my 1440p (I don't bother with AA), how big an impact would this sexy £800 beast have?
Pixel count would be up 33%, and if I ended up cross-firing, I would have to watercool as MATX, so overall costs would just be silly.

I think the price is good for an IPS screen with such a high resolution and large panel. Afterall 30" DELL is £1000. So the price is not so bad!
